Just
days after Crystal Cruises’ 2013 World Cruise has set sail, the
ultra-luxe
line has released Crystal Adventures online for its 2014 World Cruise,
marking the voyage’s earliest-ever availability of guests’ outing
options. More than 200 shore excursions are now described in detail and
offered for pre-reservation at crystalcruises.com.
The carefully-curated experiences, ranging from half a day to several
days each, will take guests to some of the most awe-striking natural
marvels and historically significant landmarks from LA to London, via
the Pacific Islands, Asia, Africa, and more.
The annual World Cruise, which is considered by cruisers to be the
ultimate of luxury travel experiences, sails for 89 days aboard the
award-winning Crystal Serenity, starting January 18, 2014.

“So
many of our World Cruisers are early planners, committing to the cruise
months and years in advance. 2013 was
a record-breaking year in that respect, and 2014 and 2015 are shaping
up to be similar record-breakers,” says John Stoll, vice president of
land and port operations. “By allowing guests to explore, and
pre-reserve, their shore options now, they can begin
connecting with their World Cruise experience all the sooner, planning
all the places they’ll visit, and growing more excited about their trip
ahead with each adventure booked.”

In 2014, World Cruise guests will be able to:

§Helicopter
over Hawaii, Hong Kong, and Cape Town.

§Safari
for native African wildlife, from gorillas to elephants.

§Explore cultural microcosms from
Geisha life in Kyoto to Ghandi and Indian sub-culture in South Africa.

§Stay
overnight off-ship in several countries, including Vietnam and Cambodia.

§Indulge in hands-on culinary treats, from
blending one’s own wine near Cape Town or learning traditional tea preparation in Hong Kong to local market shopping and hands-on
Creole cooking in Mauritius.

§Visit pivotal WWII Pacific Theatre sites from Tinian to Oahu, including a private lunch with captain of the USS Missouri.
